- Being hurt, jealous, or petty over childish things
I remember when one of my stepchildren didn’t want to touch me, plastering herself against a wall so that when I walked past her, we wouldn’t touch. It hurt me so much that I went in my room and cried. I was shocked that I took a nine-year-old’s actions so personally. There comes a point where we must choose to look beyond and let go of the things hurting children do. We need to be the adults.
